Make your cell phone use convenient and inexpensive.
Cell phone technology changes quickly, and phones frequently have new features. So before you get a new cell phone, shop around. And find the company that gives you the best converage in your area. Next, choose a cell phone service plan carefully. Every plan gives you a certain number of minutes each month for a set price. Get a plan with enough minutes as the cost for 'overage' minutes is high. To decide how many minutes you need, estimate the number of calls you make each day. Multiply that by the average number of minutes for each call. Then multiply that number by 30. Also, remember that in the U.S. you pay for each call you make and receive. So take that into consideration as well. Find out if you can roll over minutes and add them to the following month. Most importantly, look at the roaming charges. If you call from outside your service area, you will be charged extra fees.
